Let me start off by saying this: Between my own experience and what I've looked up online: Your mileage may vary. I bought from a third-party seller, so it may be a counterfeit; hopefully that's why there seem to be so many mistakes on my Zidane. (I'm sorry Zidane, I didn't mean to say that you're a mistake; I love you.)

The painting in some areas is pretty sloppy. Most notably, he doesn't have a mouth, the silver on the belts is pretty bad, and the decorations on his tie-thing are just a big blotch. Plus, his pose is different from in the stock picture. I uploaded a bunch of photos for you to see what I mean; they're the ones with the black background, but basically his left arm is a little different, and his tail won't stay up like it is in the picture. I can bend him a bit (the material is a lot more rubbery than I expected), but he mostly just falls back into place where he was. The mold is a little off in some places; his hair is very chunky, and there are little seams all over, and a big seam down the side of his pants. The platform he came with is a little wobbly, too.

Now, my experience with these kinds of figures is limited. All of the other ones I own are from Namco's Tales series, the figures by Kotobukiya. Granted, I'd expect to pay a little more for Final Fantasy, being that it's more popular, but I found got my Tales characters for seven to twelve dollars, and they're about the same size, and frankly much nicer. No defects, and they're made of a much nicer plastic.

I'm making him sound terrible, though. It's really not all bad, really. There is a lot of nice detailing on him for the price, still, and the painting is nice where it's not messed up. I don't regret buying this, but I was a little disappointed, so consider this review a word of caution, not condemnation. Look at the pictures and decide for yourself.
